Its just that age...

I'm not sure where its, coming from but all of the sudden Ellie is full of a tun of attitude, I guess its just that age! We are still in the middle of trying to potty train the girls..they go the whole day in "Big girl panties" but still have accidents every now and then, and need to still be asked if they have to go potty for them to actually GO potty in the toilet.
Sidney had already potty so now all I had to do was worry about when Ellie was going to go. "Ellie do you have to go potty?".."No not yet" she would say, and this time I tried to believe her (because typically she'd say no and about five minutes later she'd wet her pants) So i waited about a half hour and asked again, still she said "No not yet". Another half hour or so goes by and I just said "Okay Ellie its time to go on the potty". She turned around and yelled "I SAID NOOOO, NOT YET!!" I then decided that it WAS indeed time for her to go, and sure enough once she got on the potty she went a lot!
The stories not over yet...It was about time to go upstairs and the girls played with so many toys today that the downstairs was a MESS! I decided that I wasn't going to be the only one to clean the mess up so I gave each of the girls a job that they had to do in helping clean up. Sidney's job was to put all the costumes in the treasure chest, and Ellie's was to put all their jewelry in back in the basket. Both not very hard or time consuming jobs...you'd think! Sidney went straight to work and got her job finished very quickly, Ellie on the other hand took her time and pretty much ignored I had said anything at all. I asked her a couple more times and still she didn't do anything to help clean up. As I was helping Sidney go potty I said to Ellie "I don't want to ask you again, please pick up the jewelry and put it in the basket". As I'm walking toward the bathroom with Sidney I hear Ellie say "DON'T SAY THAT TO ME! DON'T SAY THAT TO ME!!" I asked her "Don't say what to you?" "Don't say 'put the jewelry in the basket', don't say that to me" I honestly couldn't believe she'd said that, I kind of laughed to myself (because she was DEAD serious) at her comment and then later explained how she needs to listen..etc..
Sidney on the other hand has been hilarious lately! As I'm putting the girls down for their nap Sidney decides to mouth words to me. "Hey Leah....(and then mouth a bunch of stuff)" I start laugh and say something like "Oh Sidney you're such a goof ball" But Ellie gets frustrated and says "Leah..LEAH...turn the volume up on Sidney!" Haha I about died of laughter!
Sidney is one of those girls who absolutely loves to dress up, and notices all your jewelry or new clothes. She care a lot about how she looks. Today in getting Sidney ready she looks in my eyes and says "Leah you have pretty blue eyes.." "Thanks Sidney" "And you have PRETTY pink lipstick on (which i had no lipstick on actually)..And pretty earrings and neckless...LEAH..you're a pretty princess!!" Now who wouldn't want a compliment like that?:)
